Arrival at the Destination X Her Mother's Reaction

TSM - VOLUME 1 - CH. 23: Arrival at the Destination X Her Mother's Reaction

Even aerial vehicle travel had its own rules. The flying cars all used the two-lane rule, just like the ones on the road below.

However, the butler went against the flow and passed right in the middle of them, and yet… the traffic officers and no one else moved to stop him even though he was clearly speeding.

This obviously did not go unnoticed by Hudson, of course. "The other aerial drivers even seem to be consciously making efforts to move out of the way," he thought.

Turning his attention to the side, he found Felicity casually sipping on some water from a plastic bottle.

Sensing his gaze on her, she paused mid-sip and turned to look at him. She leaned on closer to him with a cheeky glint in her eyes and whispered, "Don't worry, we can continue where we left off later. Be patient. No need to unwrap me with your eyes now…"

She winked as she added, "…when you can do that with your arms later."

He pursed his lips and rolled his eyes, taking one more glance at the bottles of water before turning his head towards the window to his right, taking in the view of the city.

He inwardly wondered just how they had managed to make this vehicle so stable. Despite the speed at which it was moving, the passengers felt nothing. Even the water in the bottles was still and tranquil.

Only about a quarter of an hour went by before the vehicle slowed to a stop. It seemed they had arrived at their destination.

Hudson saw the butler step out, so he did the same.

He turned around to look at the building they had parked in front of.

As expected, it wasn't ordinary. They were in front of a skyscraper!

And one with inhuman architecture no less. It looked kind of like a spaceship that had been flipped vertically to take off like a rocket.

He didn't get to dwell in his reverie for much longer as he heard the interaction between the butler and the nurse.

"Close it back, Jared," she said. "I have a bodyguard now. It's his responsibility."

His gaze fell from the cloud-chasing structure to the blue-haired man whose narrowed eyes were now trained on him.

Hudson could still feel the disapproval—an illusory laser beam that threatened to rip a hole in him, but he did not care much.

He had not harmed her and did not plan to, so he had a clear conscience… somewhat (considering what they had done, or nearly done, in the stair's landing before they were interrupted by the telekinetic).

Lowering his gaze even further, he made eye contact with Felicity, who was also gazing upon him with an expectation that screamed, "What are you waiting for?"

The transmigrator's face gave away no emotions as he wordlessly walked around the vehicle and reopened the door for her.

With a smile playing on her lips, she offered her hand towards him, which made his brows twitch slightly, but he obliged her. To him, there was no need to cause a fuss in her home ground or give the blue-haired vulture behind him the chance to pounce.

Once both her feet touched the ground, she immediately grabbed his left arm and locked it with both of hers.

He tried to casually pull away from her, but she didn't let up, shamelessly clinging on.

Gritting his teeth, he relented, and that was just about when the entrance at the bottom of the building opened up and various people poured out of it.

At the forefront of the group was a group of three women dressed in flashy outfits and jewelry of various kinds, while the rest wore navy blue T-shirts and pants with their feet fitted with black combat boots.

These extras, who were clearly guards, were of both genders and carried varying weapons (some appeared to be unarmed though but likely weren't).

"Madam. First young miss. Second young miss." Jared immediately bowed, greeting them with his right arm to his chest.

The oldest-looking of the three ladies spoke, not bothering to spare him even a glance. "You have done well, Jared. Thank you for bringing my daughter back to me."

Jared stood upright and answered, "I haven't done anything worth praise, Madam. I merely did what is expected of me."

The woman merely nodded, seemingly satisfied with his response, but insisted, "Fine then. Your compensation can be discussed later."

"If it is the Madam's wish," the butler accepted.

While this exchange had been going on, Hudson had had to bear the weight of three soul-piercing gazes from the women that looked like they could not reconcile reality with what they were beholding.

Indeed, they could not.

"Mother, Felicity… she… she…" The blonde young lady on the right-hand side of the Madam stammered, her eyes, which were cyan just like the nurse's, gone wide and round like saucers.

It was not a good look on someone as attractive as her. With her red body-hugging ankle-length modern ball dress, her womanly features were highlighted—notably, she had way bigger breasts than the nurse.

The other sibling, on the other hand, was able to form coherent speech although she was evidently equally as shocked as she pointed at her sister accusingly. "Felicity, when did you become adulterous?"

This sibling had black hair like the nurse's but not the pretty cyan eyes—hers were dark blue.

She came off as an emo or Gothic person, sporting black makeup and black and gray clothes. She had a gray crop top on and a black jacket accompanied by a pair of black shorts.

Her legs were fitted with fishnet socks and black boots that went well with the black jewelry that dangled off various parts of her—even her nose.

Her face was objectively prettier than her stammering sibling and the nurse, and she could probably seduce a lot of gullible men on the Internet if she used her passport as a profile picture.

Sigh. If only her chest wasn't as flat as a floorboard!

As for the "Madam," her face quickly regained its color but her expression was now cold and detached.

With an emperor-like finesse, she pointed at Hudson and said, "Seize him!"
